Dear Dr. Allen:

I have recently completed a survey of the medical
supervision of candidates for High School Athletic teams as
required by the organizations controlling athletics in the
respective states. Most of the states do nothing about it.
Others have, for the most part, and entirely inadequate and
superficial medical inspection.

I am attempting, with the aid of a group of phy-
sicians who are familiar with the problems of Athletics, to
formulate a suitable blank for the medical examination of
High School Athletes. On the enclosed sheets I have ligtéd
the most common elements in the medical examination of Public
School Boys, together with a scale for rating then.

As I have stated, I am circularizing a small group
of ohysicians who are qualified by their experience and in-
terest in athletics to express an opinion and for this reason
if would appreciate your cooperation in completing and return-

ing the blank to me at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully yours, a. hee
